Another comment:

PDF page 15: Do we need to add: DECn_HAS_SUBNORM between paragraphs 6
and 7?  Can their values change depending upon FP control word
settings?  My understanding is Intel and ARM have a FP control word
bit to enable/disable flush denorms to zero [for binary FP] (which is
not part of Standard C, but could be an extension).
